I don't think that you _have_ to have a swap line.  I believe that it
simply won't swap without it (not that you'd ever want to do this
normally, but I've run into situations where this was quite helpful ;-)

The installer should probably be fixed to use the newer ffs.  I think that
ufs is being deprecated or something like that...

The AV Macs use the MACE chip, which is unsupported at the moment.

Later.
